4. APPROVED CHANGE(S): Significant changes resulting from the staffing of PDC 1088 are 

highlighted in YELLOW.

a. Brief Overview of Change: Identify changes required to update the LMARS and 

corresponding MRA Report business rules; clarify and update MRA Report selection criteria by 

MILSTRIP (Reference 3.a.) legacy document identifier code (DIC) (and corresponding DLMS 

transaction); and clarify, update, and align the MRA exclusions identified in the

DLM 4000.25-2 (MILSTRAP), DLM 4000.25 (Defense Logistics Management System), and 

DLM 4000.25-4 (DAAS) Manuals (References 3.b., 3.c., 3.d., and 3.e., respectively). This 

change also identifies DLA Distribution Standard System (DSS) Department of Defense 

Activity Address Code (DoDAAC) information for the report and updates MRA Report 

descriptions in the DAAS Manual (Reference 3.e.).

b. Background:

(1) As part of an ongoing effort to improve the MRA Report, DLMSO worked 

with the Chair of the Pipeline Measurement Process Review Committee (PRC), DLA 

Transaction Services, and the Supply PRC to update and clarify the MRA Report business rules.

While MRA is a MILSTRAP process/transaction, MILSTRIP business processes and 

transactions provide the core foundation for the MRA process and report. Further, DLA 

Transaction Services generates the MRA Reports from the set of data that is pulled for LMARS. 

Accordingly, in addition to updating the MILSTRAP, Defense Logistics Management System,

and DAAS Manuals, this change identifies updates to LMARS and to the applicable MILSTRIP 

transaction criteria for the MRA Report. Legacy DICs are used in addition to DLMS 

transactions, because at this time, the LMARS data is based on legacy transaction DICs even 

when DLMS transactions are used.

(2) At past Supply PRC meetings, the DOD Components identified areas where 

the MRA Report may not be including or excluding some types of shipments based on outdated

or missing business rules. This change will clarify the MRA exclusions, help to identify

qualified shipments meeting the “No MRA” criteria when the issuing inventory control point 

(ICP) expects an MRA, and revise the display of MRA Report data when a DLA Distribution 

Center is the ship-to DoDAAC.

c. Describe Requested Change in Detail:

(1) LMARS Business Rules Update. Revise the LMARS business rules selection 

criteria by MILSTRIP DIC or MILSTRAP DIC (DLMS) as follows: 

(a) If there is no original requisition source transaction MILSTRIP Legacy 

DIC A0_ (DLMS 511R beginning segment (1/BR02/020 Code A0) and there is either a 

MILSTRIP Legacy DIC A3_ (DLMS 511R beginning segment (1/BR02/020 Code BM)) or 

MILSTRIP Legacy DIC A4_ (DLMS 511R beginning segment (1/BR02/020 Code BN)), either 

will be recognized as a requisition.

Attachment, ADC 1088

Page 2 of 10
(b) The LMARS business rules will affect the MRA Report business rules 

selection criteria. The MRA Report business rules will be documented as an appendix in the 

MILSTRAP, DLMS and DAAS manuals to include the graphic representation of the MRA 

Report business rules shown in the “MRA Decision Tree”. Enclosure 3 is the new appendix that 

provides the narrative of the revised MRA Report business rules. 

(c) Revisions to DLM 4000.25-2, MILSTRAP, Chapter 6, C6.1 Purpose.

1. In C6.1., replace “customer wait time (CWT)” with “logistics 

response time (LRT)” because receipt take up time is a segment in LMARS for LRT. The MRA 

requirement is limited to wholesale actions and LRT is the wholesale pipeline measurement.

2. Add a new sub paragraph C6.1.3 to introduce the new 

MILSTRAP Appendix AP5.1 Materiel Receipt Acknowledgement Business Rules and the 

included MRA Decision Tree diagram to capture shipments out of wholesale assets that qualify 

for MRA Reporting. This new appendix will also be incorporated as a new Appendix 7 in DLM 

4000.25-4, DAAS manual.

C6.1. PURPOSE

C6.1.1. This chapter provides policy and procedures for a DoD automated, closed-loop 

system to provide accountability and monitor receipt of shipments of DoD and General Services 

Administration (GSA) wholesale stocks and DLA Disposition Services stock which are issued

from onhand assets or procured for direct vendor delivery (DVD). These procedures interface 

with customer wait time (CWT) logistics response time (LRT) for measuring receipt take-up time 

by requisitioners and with DLM 4000.25-1, MILSTRIP, for providing 100 percent shipment status 

on stock issues, including DVDs.

Intervening text not shown

C6.1.3. MRA Business Rules. Appendix 5.1 identifies the detailed business rules for 

generating the MRA Report. Appendix 5.1 also includes an MRA Decision Tree diagram to 

provide graphic representation of the MRA business rules to capture shipments out of wholesale 

assets that qualify for MRA Reporting.

(2) MRA Gaps. There are several known MRA gaps associated with DLA 

processes that do not use a typical shipment status transaction required for the MRA process. 

Revise the “Applicability” paragraph of DLM 4000.25-2, MILSTRAP, Chapter 6 to add an 

additional footnote:

Attachment, ADC 1088

Page 3 of 10
C6.2. APPLICABILITY 1, 2

New Footnote Text: Known MRA gaps include shipments associated with DLA

Industrial Prime Vendor (IPV), and DLA Tailored Vendor Relationships (TVR) such as 

Medical Prime Vendor; Subsistence Prime Vendor; Maintenance Repair and Operations 

program; and Kentucky Logistics Operation Center (KyLOC). The MRA process requires a 

MILSTRIP Shipment Status transaction; there is no shipment status in these processes. These 

processes are not excluded from MRA (except Fresh fruits and vegetables (FF&V)), and are 

identified as known process gaps that DLA is working to close. Another possible MRA gap 

exists for immediate issue scenarios (e.g., bearer walk-through or “over the counter” issues) 

where shipment status/materiel release confirmation is provided and an MRA would typically be 

expected. DLA will submit a proposed DLMS change to document this as a valid MRA 

exclusion.

(3) Update Reference. Update the reference in C6.2.2. to reflect “DoDM 

4140.01, “DoD Supply Chain Materiel Management Procedures, February 10, 2014”.

(4) Exclusions. Revise and align the DLM 4000.25-2, MILSTRAP, Chapter 6, 

paragraph C6.3 Exclusions with DLM 4000.25-4, DAAS Manual, Appendix 5, AP5.2.12.3.

Exclusions and make comparable updates to DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, Chapter 10. The intent is 

to put the same listing in both the MILSTRAP C6.3/DLMS Exclusions and DAAS Manual 

AP5.2.12.3 Exclusions. The detailed changes for MRA exclusions are identified in Enclosure 4; a 

summary of the more substantive changes to the MILSTRAP/DAAS exclusions is shown in the 

following:

• Add Service and Agency (S/A) Code I to AP5.2.12.3.3. FMS 

documents beginning with B, D, I, P, K, and T. This is an administrative update to address the 

ADC 428A (Reference 3.f.) addition of a new S/A Code I for the Missile Defense Agency 

(MDA) as an FMS Implementing Agency. ADC 428A did not specify this change to the 

DAAS Manual, however on August 28, 2013, DLA Transaction Services confirmed that the 

logic for the MRA exclusion for S/A Code I was programmed. DLA Transaction Services 

confirmed security assistance (FMS) transactions are neither in LMARS nor MRA based on the 

beginning letter of the DoDAAC (including I) and the 135 day check was never used for FMS. 

• Non-ICP/Integrated Materiel Manager (IMM) Directed Inter-Service 

Lateral Redistributions. ADC 1062 established procedures to identify Inter-Component lateral 

redistributions of retail stock not directed by the IMM. The transactions to support this process 

would normally trigger the requirement to expect an MRA. However, since these lateral 

redistributions are not directed by an ICP/IMM for release of wholesale assets, an MRA is not 

required. To ensure that these transactions are not picked up by the MRA Reporting logic, when 

DAAS receives the passing order (MILSTRIP Legacy DIC A3_) that has a routing identifier 

code (RIC)-To of a non-wholesale ICP, they will flag the document number as not eligible for 

LMARS/MRA, but it will be available for tracking in WEBVLIPS. Then, any subsequent 

transactions that come in under that document number (regardless of data content and indication 

of a wholesale ICP) automatically gets that flag. This is similar to what DAAS does for the 

requisition alert process. An underlying assumption to this solution is that the passing order will 

be present so that the flag can be set at the document number level, thereby ensuring that 

subsequent transactions (e.g., post-post requisition and shipment status) won't trigger the MRA 

Attachment, ADC 1088

Page 4 of 10
reporting requirement. This is a safe assumption, since ADC 1062 states that Global Combat 

Support System – Army (GCSS-A) will not release the requisition image until they receive the 

passing order routed by DAAS.

• Add Special Program DoDAACs to the exclusions (MILSTRAP C6.3.4). 

Special Program DoDAACs are identified by a numeric character in the first position followed 

by an alpha character in the second position. These identify entities that are neither DoD nor 

other Federal entities and that are associated with a special program. Among other purposes, 

special programs include programs authorized by Congress for state and local entities to 

purchase materiel from Federal sources. The existing DLA Transaction Services logic for 

extracting the LMARS database includes the exclusion of Special Program DoDAACs. 

• Receipts into DOD wholesale stock addressed in the existing 

MILSTRAP C6.3.5 requires clarification and will be added to the DAAS Manual exclusions. 

ADC Note: See detailed notes in Enclosure 4. 

• Align the description in MILSTRAP C6.3.6, Shipment Status (AS3) with 

Distribution Code 9 in the DAAS manual AP5.2.12.3.6.

• Align MILSTRAP C6.3.7 (Shipments of fresh fruit and vegetables 

(FF&V) and DAAS manual AP5.2.12.3.1. Delete the DAAS manual exclusion for FSG 88 and 

89 and replace with “Shipments of fresh fruits and vegetables (FF&V)” with additional 

explanation shown in Enclosure 4.

Staffing Note: DLA Transaction Services input noted FSG 88 and 89 is not excluded. The 

DLA processes for Subsistence do not generate a shipment transaction and are not picked up 

under MRA. FF&V (the only provision type commodity excluded from MRA) and semiperishables are received in a monthly data feed from DLA Troop Support. None of the 

monthly data feeds have shipment data and they cannot be include in MRA Reports. They are 

just reported in total pipeline time (TPT) for LMARS. Anything (FF&V, Semi perishables, 

medical or M,R,O transactions) that come through normal channels and are routed by DLA 

Transaction Services would be picked up under MRA. Except for FF&V (excluded), this is a

process gap that DLA is working to close.

• Existing MILSTRAP 6.3.8 excludes Exchange DoDAACs beginning 

with HX1, HX2, HX3 and HX4. DAAS Manual AP5.2.12.3.5 excludes all DoDAACs 

beginning with HX.

Staffing Note: DLMSO is reviewing the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange) 

(formerly AAFES) exclusion with OSD/SCI. Any change to the exclusion will be documented 

in a separate PDC. 

• Remove Medical – RIC S9M (DAAS Manual, AP5.2.12.3.2). The RIC 

S9M is not tracked as a wholesale ICP. DLA changed to RIC SMS for DLA ICPs across the 

board, with implementation of EBS.

• Add to MILSTRAP exclusions, “DoDAAC indicating activity is GSA or 

FEDSTRIP” (DAAS Manual, AP5.2.12.3.4).

• Remove the DAAS Manual exclusion at AP5.2.12.3.7. “Shipment 

transactions not received at DLA Transaction Services.” 

Staffing Note: The MRA procedures interface with DLM 4000.25-1, MILSTRIP, for 

Attachment, ADC 1088

Page 5 of 10
providing 100 percent shipment status on stock issues, including DVDs. Accordingly,

processes which fail to comply with this DOD requirement are not excluded from MRA by 

virtue of not sending the required Shipment Status transaction, rather they are known process 

gaps that must be corrected. The updated MRA report business rules and decision tree 

document that a transaction with no shipment status will never get to the exclusion decision 

block. 

• AP5.2.12.3.8. Delete this subparagraph. The DLA processes for 

subsistence; medical; and maintenance, repair, and operations are not an exclusion (except 

FF&V). 

• Add a footnote to “AP5.2.12.3. Exclusions” that these are known MRA 

process gaps (no shipment status is created) that DLA is working to close. 

(5) MRA Report Descriptions. The existing MRA Report descriptions require

update to reflect recent MRA Report changes. Some of the descriptions are being enhanced for 

better user understanding of each MRA Report. In ADC 1086 (Reference 3.h.), the description for 

MRA04 (Shipment Discrepancy Report by Depot) was removed and additional descriptions for 

the new Source of Supply MRA Report were added. Revise DLM 4000.25-4, DAAS Manual, 

Appendix 5, AP5.2.12.5. Reports as shown in Enclosure 1. This will clarify the MRA Report 

description and MRA Report Column descriptions for each MRA Report. The section with the 

MRA Report descriptions is revised in its entirety and not all changes are annotated.

(6) DSS DoDAAC/RIC List. To facilitate additional MRA improvements, 

specifically for data collection and display, an accurate list of DLA Distribution Centers and their 

associated DoDAACs/RICs is required from DLA. DLA J-331 agreed to provide an updated list 

to DLA Transaction Services on a periodic basis. In previous discussions it was thought that an 

automatic feed of DoDAACs would be required, however the DLA Distribution Center

DoDAAC/RIC list is relatively stable and DLA Transaction Services agreed to work with a static 

DLA Distribution Center DoDAAC/RIC list with the understanding that DLA is responsible for 

periodic updates to the list and will work toward a systemic solution to provide an automatic feed 

to update the DLA Distribution Center DoDAAC/RIC list. Enclosure 2 provides the current list of 

DLA Distribution Center DoDAACs/RICs.

Staffing Note for DLA Transaction Services: This table must be developed in a manner that it 

is accessible by other web applications, (e.g., the Web Stock Screening Request being developed).

(7) Exception to the MRA Report Logic for Specific Navy Base Realignment 

and Closure (BRAC) Retail Supply, Storage and Distribution (SS&D)/Inventory 

Management and Stock Positioning (IMSP) Spiral II MRAs.1 During the analysis to document 

this change, an exception rule was identified to properly align MRA reporting for several Navy 

industrial activities subject to BRAC. For the industrial materiel requirements that are managed 

by non-DLA sources of supply, DLA orders and receipts for materiel under DLA ownership using 

DoDAACs that begin with “N”. For these transactions, a systemic process is in place for the DLA 

RIC SMS to generate an MRA to the source of supply/issuing inventory control point, upon SMS 

receipt of the co-located DLA distribution center Receipt transaction (MILSTRAP legacy DIC

Military Service/GSA Sources of Supply in Support of Navy Industrial Activities under BRAC SS&D/IMSP.

D6_ (DLMS 527R)).

2

 The DoDAACs shown below are assigned to these DLA sites. For these 

DoDAACs, the Service/Agency Code N, is “borrowed” and in the DOD activity address directory, 

the Major Command is identified as DLA. DLA is responsible for submitting MRAs for these 

DoDAACs. 

• FRC East Cherry Point N01DLA

• FRC Southeast Jacksonville N02DLA

• FRC Southwest San Diego N03DLA

• NNSY Norfolk N04DLA

• PSNS & IMF Puget Sound N05DLA

• PHNSY & IMF Pearl Harbor N06DLA 

• PNSY Portsmouth N07DLA

MRA/LMARS Exception Rule: MRA transactions for the DoDAACs listed above will not be 

counted under the Service of the ship-to DoDAAC, but will be counted as MRAs submitted by 

DLA rather than the Navy.

(8) Change Data Collection and Display. In all MRA Reports, collection and 

display of data will be by Service of the ship-to DoDAAC, not the Service of the requisitioning 

DoDAAC. This is because MRAs are to be generated by the ship-to DoDAAC and the follow-up

for delinquent MRA is sent to the ship-to DoDAAC. 

MRA/LMARS Exception Rule: For the scenario above, if a DLA Distribution Center is the 

ship-to DODAAC, data will be collected and displayed under the Service of the requisitioning 

DoDAAC. This last requirement is dependent on DLA Transaction Services having a reliable and 

current list of DLA Distribution Center DoDAACs (Enclosure 2).

(9) MRA Report Selection Criteria Changes. DLMSO updated the MRA 

Report selection criteria by MILSTRIP legacy DIC/DLMS transaction. The updated MRA Report 

business rules and MRA Decision Tree are shown in Enclosure 3. The MRA Decision Tree 

incorporates several new items, such as specific exclusions and a requirement identified in ADC 

1087 (Reference 3.g.), that addresses looking at the transaction history to see if the ICP generated

a follow-up for delinquent MRA transaction (DRF) to determine whether some shipments are 

exempt from MRA Reporting.

(10) MRA Report Business Rules. DLMSO used the existing MRA Business 

Rules documents to provide an interpretation of the MRA Business Rules as they currently exist 

and incorporated additional items following clarification of questions raised during development 

of this ADC. The updated Business Rules document and MRA Decision Tree provide a quick 

reference to help users understand the existing MRA Report business rules and the proposed 

changes (Enclosures 3).

(11) Review of Past ADCs for MRA Business Rules Impact. The following 

ADCs were reviewed for MRA Business Rules impacts. ADC 372, 379 (Multiple), 381, 411, 474, 

482, 1025, and 1062. The following ADCs had MRA Business Rules impacts identified.

(a) ADC 411 addressed shipment status, and materiel release confirmation 

in the event outbound shipment details change from the original transaction. DLM 4000.25, 

Volume 2, C4.7.16.3.1.6. “The ICP will adjust its Materiel Release Acknowledgement (MRA) 

follow-up timeframes based on the updated MRC in accordance with standard MILSTRAP 

business rules.”

Staffing Note: DLA Transaction Services noted the change to restart the clock measuring MRA 

reporting performance based upon receipt of an updated 856S shipment transaction was 

implemented in June 2011.

(b) ADC 474 Discrepancy Indicator (MRA) G. Per ADC 474, Impact (8.3) 

LMARS will not use an MRA containing a Discrepancy Indicator Code G to populate the CUSTRECEIPT-DATE, TPT-NODE, or RTT-NODE fields with an MRA/customer receipt date. ADC 

482 Changes to the MRA Report.

(c) ADC 482 Changes to MRA and LMARS, documented exclusion of 

Discrepancy Codes V and G which were previously programmed by DLA Transaction Services 

but not documented in an ADC. The MRA04 Report is being deleted per DLA request (ADC 

1086 (reference h)), therefore this requirement will not be added to the Business Rules document . 

Revised criteria to align LMARS Report. ADC 482 and ADC 1088 revise LMARS AP5.1.4.4. 

Table H - Service and/or Report Affiliation. Table H in the Key LMARS Tables identifies the 

Service and/ or report affiliation required for the MRA Report.

d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals: 

(1) DLM 4000.25-2, MILSTRAP C6.1.1, C6.1.3, C6.2, C62.2, C6.3 – refer to 

Enclosure 4; add new Appendix 5. Business Rules and Appendix 5.1. Materiel Receipt 

Acknowledgement Business Rules.

(2) DLM 4000.25, Defense Logistics Management System, Volume 2;

corresponding changes will be made to Chapter 10, as were made for MILSTRAP, Chapter 6.

(3) DLM 4000.25-4, DAAS Manual; refer to Enclosures 1, 3, and 4.

e. Alternatives: None identified.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: To improve, update, and clarify documentation of the MRA 

Report business rules. MRA has emerged as a tool to support Audit Readiness. Toward that 

end, MRA reports can be used to identify areas where MRA submissions may be lacking and 

corrective action should be focused. Improvements to the MRA Reports will help DLA and the 

Services to more easily identify areas where increased management attention is required. 

Attachment, ADC 1088

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: Improves the accuracy of the MRA Report by correcting and clarifying 

the MRA Report inclusion and exclusion criteria to improve the capture of the correct MRA 

Report data for Component shipments out of wholesale assets. The MRA Report changes 

improve the documentation, usability, and accuracy of the set of MRA Reports.

b. Disadvantages: None.

7. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: DLA Transaction Services 

estimated 12 months from the date of this ADC to complete all portions of the changes 

identified.

8. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: None identified.

9. IMPACT:

a. New DLMS Data Elements: None

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: None

c. Automated Information Systems (AIS): None.

d. DLA Transaction Services:

(1) Requires modification of MRA Report selection criteria and associated 

program logic.

(2) The DSS DoDAAC/RIC list shown in Enclosure 2 must be developed in a 

manner that it is accessible by other web applications, (e.g., the Web Stock Screening Request)

being developed.

e. Non-DLM 4000.25 Series Publications: The Components are responsible to update 

any Service/Agency level issuances to ensure MRA guidance is consistent with DLM 4000.25 

manuals.

 Security assistance program requisitions are not captured for 

inclusion in LMARS or MRA Reports based on the Security Cooperation 

Implementing Agency code in the first position of the document number. To 

access these reports, a DLA Transaction Services system access request (SAR) 

for SAR Title “Logistics Reports” must be completed at 

https://www.transactionservices.dla.mil/sar/warning.asp. 

Wholesale ICPs and depots included in the MRA Report are identified in the 

LMARS and maintained by DLA Transaction Services. The list of included 

wholesale ICPs is published in DLM 4000.25, Volume 6, Chapter 4, Pipeline 

Measurement (C4.6.3.1.2), Table D and at

www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/eLibrary/Documents/PMPRC/keyLMARSTables.docx

shown on the DLA Transaction Services’ web site. New ICPs will be added as 

they are identified by the Supply PRC identifies new ones such as EBS or 

contractors serving as ICPs.

Staffing Note: ADC 1087 added a new paragraph to address MRAs for IntraComponent Issues.

“AP5.2.12.3.xx Exclude intra-Component shipments when the issuing wholesale 

ICP does not generate a Follow-Up for Delinquent MRA transaction within the 

required delinquent MRA Follow-up time limit. The rationale is that if the issuing 

wholesale ICP business process requires that the intra-Component reporting 

activity provide a Receipt transaction back to the issuing wholesale ICP, then it 

falls under the MRA exclusions and the issuing ICP would not generate a Followup for Delinquent MRA transaction. For the purpose of this exclusion logic, DLA 

Transaction Services will use the MRA Follow-up timeframe plus one day. Under 

existing MRA Report logic, lookup will be done at the end of the month.”

AP5.2.12.4. MRA Report Criteria. The criteria used to produce and 

align the MRA Reports are depicted/contained in the LMARS Reports Table H

Service and/or Report Affiliation, as shown below at

www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/eLibrary/Documents/PMPRC/KeyLMARSTables.docx:

3 Per DLM 4000.25-2, Chapter 6, the reporting period is defined as 45 calendar days for Conus and 105 

calendar days for OCONUS shipments. The follow-up response timeframe for both is 15 days.

AP5.2.12.5. Reports. Appendix 7 identifies the detailed business 

rules for generating the MRA Report. Appendix 7 also includes an MRA 

Decision Tree diagram to provide graphic representation of the MRA 

business rules to capture shipments out of wholesale assets that qualify for 

MRA reporting. Actual MRA reports produced are as follows:

AP5.2.12.5.1. MRA01 – MRA Service and Agency Summary. 

Shows shipments for all DoD Components/Participating Agencies and all 

categories by area of the ship-to DoDAAC and customer. The count of qualified 

4 DoDAACs starting with SD are being phased out or replaced with Service/Agency Code U.

5 C6.5.6. GSA will not use the MRA to monitor materiel receipt but will use the data to interface

with the discrepancy reporting process. Therefore, GSA will not follow up to reporting 

activities to request an MRA.

BUSINESS RULES

AP5.1.1. Materiel Receipt Acknowledgement Report – Business Rules

AP5.1.2. Background. (from revised DAAS Manual, AP5.2.12): “MRA Reports. 

MRA reports show shipments and the percentage of shipments out of wholesale 

assets for which the DAAS receives and does not receive the associated MRA 

transactions. Qualifying Shipments out of wholesale assets included in the report 

are determined by the date released to carrier (recorded at DLA Transaction 

Services) plus 60 calendar days to accommodate the 45 calendar days MRA 

reporting period and the 15 calendar days MRA follow-up response timeframes (if 

CONUS); or plus 120 calendar days to accommodate the 105 calendar days MRA 

reporting period and the 15 calendar days MRA follow-up response timeframe (if 

OCONUS).”7 Security assistance program requisitions are not captured for inclusion

in LMARS or MRA based on the Security Cooperation Implementing Agency code in 

the first position of the document number.

transaction is; 2 – lateral redistribution of consumable, or 3 – repairable assets.

AP5.1.3.2. Service Specific Transactions

AP5.1.3.2.1. The Requisition Image transaction is identified by the DLMS 

511R by beginning segment (1/BR02/020 Code A0 or BN and 1/BR06/020 Code FI). 

This transaction provides the functionality of DLA, Air Force, and GSA unique legacy 

DIC CH1 and CHA. This transaction is used where the original transaction has 

bypassed the normal DAAS transaction flow.

AP5.1.3.2.2. The DLA post-post issue from forward stock at recruit 

training centers is identified by the DLMS 867I by beginning segment (1/BPT04/20 

Code 01). This transaction provides the functionality of MILSTRAP legacy DIC D7_. 

AP5.1.3.2.3. The Image of an Activated Prepositioned Requisition (Army) 

is identified by the DLMS 511R by beginning segment (1/BR02/020 Code A0 and 

1/BR06/020 Code FI). This transaction provides the functionality of Army unique 

transaction DIC BE9 (Image of an Activated Pre–Positioned Requisition). This 

transaction is created by the Army National Inventory Control Point/Service Item 

Control Center (NICP/SICC) at the same time a pre-positioned requisition in support 

of Operation Plans, or mobilization station/training base installation requirements is 

released. The transaction is forwarded to the requisitioner (routed by DAAS), and is 

used by the requisitioner to establish a due-in record for receipt processing of 

materiel issued by the NICP/SICC from processing of a pre-positioned requisition.8

AP5.1.3.3. Original Source Transaction Is An equivalent A5_Materiel Release 

Order (MRO)

AP5.1.3.3.1. The MRO is identified by the DLMS 940R by the shipping

the functionality of MILSTRIP legacy DIC A51, A52, A54, A55, A57, A5A, A5B A5D, 

and A5E.

8 The Army advised that with the transition to Army LMP, this functionality is not currently in use, but the 

DAAS processing rules should be retained for potential future use.

APPENDIX 5.1

Enclosure 3, ADC 1088

AP5.1-2

 
AP5.1.3.3.2. The Lateral Redistribution Order is identified by the DLMS 

940R by the shipping order identification segment (1/W0506/0200 Code NI and 

1/W0507/0200 Code RG). This transaction provides the functionality of MILSTRIP 

legacy DIC A41, A42, A44, A45, A47, A4A, A4B, A4D, and A4E with Distribution 

Code 2 or 3 present to indicate the transaction is a lateral redistribution of 

consumable or repair assets.

AP5.1.3.3.3. The DLA Post-Post Directed Material Release Order (MRO) 

(Requisition) is identified by the DLMS 511R by beginning segment (1/BR02/020 

Code A0 and 1/BR06/020 Code J). This transaction provides the functionality of the 

DLA unique transaction C0A/C01). 

AP5.1.3.3.4. The DLA Post-Post Directed MRO (Referral) is identified by 

the DLMS 511R by beginning segment (1/BR02/020 Code BN and 1/BR06/020 

Code J). This transaction provides the functionality of the DLA unique transaction 

CQA/CQ1).

AP5.1.3.3.5. The Army Offline MRO Image is identified by the DLMS 

940R by the beginning segment (1/W0506/0200 Code NA, and 1/W0507/0200 Code 

FI). This transaction provides the functionality of the Army unique transaction B99. 

AP5.1.3.3.6. Intra Navy Issue (MRO) is identified by the DLMS 940R by 

the beginning segment (1/W0506/0200 Code NA). This transaction provides the 

functionality of the Intra Navy use of MILSTRIP DIC A4. The Intra Navy A4_ does 

not have a Distribution Code of 2 or 3)9 however it is treated as an MRO. The other 

transaction used in the Navy Issue (MRO) scenario is identified by the DLMS 867I 

by the beginning segment (1/BPT04/20 Code 01). This transaction provides the 

functionality of the Intra Navy use of MILSTRIP legacy DIC D7_. These two 

transactions are primarily from Navy ERP to CAV sites to issue A condition materiel 

from a CAV site.

AP5.1.3.3.7. Air Force Redistribution Order (RDO) is identified by the 

DLMS 940R by the beginning segment (1/W0506/0200 Code NI). This transaction 

provides the functionally of the MILSTRIP legacy A2_. This Air Force RDO is 

generated only for AF wholesale (owned) assets that are being shipped to another 

DSS storage site or being sent to an Air Force site for storage. If no record of the 

RDO (no shipment suspense or RDO/Referral suspense record then the Air Force 

will use an RDO Follow-Up identified by the DLMS 940R by the beginning segment 

(1/W0506/0200 Code NI and 1/W0507/0200 Code 82). This transaction provides 

9 Standard A4_ transaction with a Distribution Code = 2 or 3 is treated as a lateral redistribution order. 

Navy A4_ is treating this A4_ as an MRO and not a requisition, thus a special rule is required so LOTS 

can flag appropriately. The internal rule in LOTS for categorizing these D7s is: If there is no other 

requisition DIC equivalent as defined in decision blocks 2 and 3, then flag the D7 as a requisition 

equivalent; if there is a requisition equivalent, but no traditional MRO, then treat the D7 as an MRO; if 

there is a requisition equivalent and MRO equivalent, but no shipment status, then treat the D7 as 

shipment. Summary: Navy – No Shipment; D7_ is a shipment; No MRO, D7_ is an MRO; No Reqn, D7_ 

is a Requisition.

the functionality of the Air Force Unique BF7 transaction. The Air Force system will 

reformat BF7 as an A2_ and either ship or create a B7_ (Denial). For issues to 

depot maintenance, the A5_ is sent to DSS.10

AP5.1.4. MRA Business Rules derived from the MRA Decision Tree. The following 

list identifies the decision blocks and key transactions and business rules used to 

identify the presence of a requisition or MRO type transactions to determine MRA 

Report eligibility. The decision blocks identify transactions unique to Component 

specific processes. Figure AP5.1. F1 is a graphical version of the MRA Decision 

Tree.

Decision Block 1. Is the Source of Supply a wholesale ICP? There must be a 

Wholesale ICP in the To_RIC of the Requisition or the From_RIC of the MRO.11 The 

authoritative list of wholesale ICPs is found on the LMARS master data record at 

www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/Archives/PMPRC/documents/Data_values.docx.

a. If No, terminate MRA decision tree (No MRA Required)

b. If Yes, proceed to Decision Block 2 

Decision Block 2. Is the original source transaction a requisition, requisition 

modification, or requisition follow-up transaction? This business rule applies to all 

Services/Agencies. 

a. If Yes, proceed to Decision Block 6 to determine if there is an associated 

shipment status from a wholesale ICP. Note: If there is no associated shipment status, 

there is no MRA tracking for that transaction.

b. If No, proceed to Decision Block 3

Decision Block 3. Is the original source transaction a passing order or referral order, 

where the Distribution Code does not equal 2 or 3 in the first position?12 This business 

rule applies to all Services/Agencies.

a. If Yes, proceed to Decision Block 6 to determine if there is an associated 

shipment status from a wholesale ICP

b. If No, proceed to Decision Block 4

10 Some of the Air Force A2_, BF7 process was identified in ADC 405 to support ECSS development.

11 DLA Transaction Services records the ICP (To RIC) for requisition type transaction, passing, referral 

and redistribution order transactions. When an MRO type transaction is received, the ICP is re-recorded 

and the From RIC is used. If and MRO is received by DLA Transaction Services, unless they receive a 

denial, the recorded ICP is never changed. A denial and new MRO will change the ICP.

12 Distribution Code: 

2 – For use by IMMs to identify transactions associated with lateral redistribution of DoD consumable 

assets.

3 – For use by IMMs to identify transactions associated with lateral redistribution of DoD reparable 

assets.

APPENDIX 5.1

Enclosure 3, ADC 1088

AP5.1-4

 
Decision Block 4. Is the original source transaction one of the following 

Service/Agency-specific transaction types? These transactions are functioning similar 

to a requisition.

a. Army: Activated Prepositioned Requisition citing Service/Agency Code A, C 

or W in the first position of the document number

b. DLA: Requisition Image CONUS or OCONUS?

c. DLA: Post-Post issues (D7_) from forward stock at recruit training centers?

d. GSA: CH1, CHA (image transactions)?

i. If Yes, proceed to Decision Block 6 to determine if there is an 

associated shipment status from a wholesale ICP

ii. If No, proceed to Decision Block 5

Decision Block 5. Is the original source transaction an MRO or equivalent 

transaction?

a. All Services/Agencies: MRO or Lateral Redistribution Order citing Distribution 

Code 2 or 3 in the first position 

b. DLA ICPs: Post-Post Directed MRO (Requisition)13

c. Army: Offline MRO Image 

d. Navy: Intra-Navy Issue (MRO)

e. Air Force: RDO and RDO Follow-Up 14

i. If Yes, proceed to Decision Block 6 to determine if there is an 

associated shipment status from a wholesale ICP

ii. If No, terminate MRA decision tree (No MRA Required)

Decision Block 6. Is there a shipment status from a Wholesale ICP? The 

authoritative list of wholesale ICPs is found on the LMARS master data record at 

www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/Archives/PMPRC/documents/Data_values.docx.

a. If No, terminate MRA decision tree (No MRA Required)

b. If Yes, proceed to Decision Block 7 to determine if any additional MRA 

exclusions apply

13 DLA will not generate an A5_ unless it is for a customer requisition. 14 Air Force BF7 was only used between D035A and SBSS (ILS-S and base retail). It is an RDO follow-up 

to the shipping activity. Air Force plans to continue using A2_ and has no plan to convert to A5_. 

APPENDIX 5.1

Enclosure 3, ADC 1088

AP5.1-5

 
Decision Block 7. Do any of the following exclusions apply? 

a. Requisition DoDAAC or the ship-to DoDAAC is GSA or FEDSTRIP

b. Security Cooperation Implementing Agency code B, D, I, K, P or T in the 

first position of the document number

c. DoDAAC in document number begins with HX

d. Distribution Code is 9 in first position indicating the requirement is for DLA 

Disposition Services

e. Non-ICP/IMM Directed Inter-Service Lateral Redistributions. ADC 1062 

established procedures to support Non-ICP/IMM Directed Inter-Service Lateral 

Redistributions.15

i. If No, proceed to Decision Block 8 to determine if a follow-up for 

delinquent MRA was sent by the wholesale ICP

ii. If Yes, terminate MRA decision tree (No MRA Required)

15 See ADC 1062. 

Staffing Note: ADC 1062 established procedures to support Non-ICP/IMM Directed Inter-Service 

Lateral Redistributions. The transactions to support this process would normally trigger the 

requirement to expect an MRA. However, since these lateral redistributions are not directed by an 

ICP/IMM for release of wholesale assets, an MRA is not required. To ensure that these transactions 

don't get picked up by the MRA Reporting logic, when DAAS gets the passing order (MILSTRIP 

Legacy DIC A3_) that has a RIC-TO of a non-wholesale ICP, they will flag the document number as 

not eligible for LMARS/MRA, but still be available for tracking in WEBVLIPS. Any subsequent 

transactions that come in under that document number (regardless of data content and indication of a 

wholesale ICP) automatically get that flag. This is similar to what DAAS does for the requisition alert 

process. An underlying assumption to this solution is that the passing order will be present so that the 

flag can be set at the document number level, thereby ensuring subsequent transactions (e.g., postpost requisition and shipment status) will not trigger MRA reporting requirements. This is a safe 

assumption, since ADC 1062 states that GCSS-A will not release the requisition image until they 

receive the passing order routed by DAAS.

Decision Block 8. Did the ICP generate a follow-up for delinquent MRA transaction 

(DRF) within the required time limit?16

a. If Yes, track for Receipt of MRA Transaction

b. If No, No MRA Tracking required

AP5.1.5. Requirements for Generating MRA Reports

Staffing Note: MRA Report Business Rules (MRARPTSBUSRLS.doc dated 

10/17/2001) received from DLA Transaction Services. An additional document 

received from DLA Transaction Services, “MRA Data Selection Procedures” dated 

October 2001 was not included because it appeared to be more of a DLA 

Transaction Services interpretation of the Business Rules and some program logic 

interpretation.

AP5.1.5.1. Data Included in Reports

AP5.1.5.1.1. The initial rule for reports that must be met is the document 

numbers that yielded the requirement for MRA Tracking are based on the business 

rules identified in the MRA Decision tree (Enclosure 3).

AP5.1.5.1.2. If Signal Code = J, K, L or M, then the Supplementary 

Address (SUPPADD) is considered the Ship-To DoDAAC. If signal Code = A, B, C, 

or D, then the activity address code in the document number is the Ship-To 

DoDAAC.

AP5.1.5.1.3. Parsing the data by Service/Agency is determined by the 

Service/Agency code in the first position of the document number. 

Source: LMARS Table H – Service and/or Report Affiliation

www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/Archives/PMPRC/documents/KeyLMARSTables.docx.

AP5.1.4.1.4. Location (CONUS/OCONUS) is determined by the Ship-To 

DoDAAC. The CONUS/OCONUS is obtained from the Combatant Command 

(COCOM) designation in the DoDAAC file and stored in the LMARS/Logistics 

Response Time (LRT) file.

AP5.1.5.1.5. Direct Vendor Delivery (DVD). DVD is identified one of two 

ways:

16 See ADC 1087

Staffing Note: In ADC 1087, intra-Component shipments are excluded when the issuing wholesale 

ICP does not generate a Follow-Up for Delinquent MRA transaction within the required delinquent 

MRA Follow-up time limit. This eliminates capture of intra-Component shipments out of wholesale 

assets when the issuing Component’s business process requires the assets to be reported as a 

receipt transaction back to the issuing ICP rather than an MRA transaction. This rule depends on 

proper implementation of the delinquent MRA follow-up process by each of the Components and 

staggered implementation of ADC 1087 is expected. DLA confirmed that their MRA follow-up process 

was implemented per the procedures.

(1/BSR01/20 Code 5). This transaction provides the functionality of MILSTRIP 

legacy DIC AB1, AB2, AB3, and AB8. 

AP5.1.5.1.5.2. Supply Status DLMS 870S beginning segment 

(1/BSR01/20 Code 4 and logistics qualifier (2/LQ01/330 Code 81) citing Status Code 

BV or BZ. This transaction provides the functionality of MILSTRIP legacy DIC AE1, 

AE2, AE3, AE8, AE9, AEA, AEB, AED, and AEE.

AP5.1.5.1.6. Dollar Value is determined by multiplying the unit price on 

the Source of Supply field by the quantity in the requisition.

AP5.1.5.1.7. Suffixed document numbers are treated as individual 

requisitions and MRA is applied using the 15 position document number, if present. 

If no match, a match is made on the 14-position document number and quantity. 

AP5.1.5.1.8. Split/Partial Shipments

AP5.1.5.1.8.1. Existing Business Rule. Split Shipments at the 

distribution center (multiple TCNs), the first receipt will be counted as the receipt. 

AP5.1.5.1.8.2. Revised Business Rule. DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, 

C10.2.6. Acknowledgement of Split or Partial Shipments. When a shipped line item 

(requisition document number and suffix code) is consigned as a split or partial 

shipment, submit an MRA for the shipment segments as they are received. The split 

or partial shipment codes are part of the transportation control number (TCN) 

structure in accordance with DTR 4500.9-R, Defense Transportation Regulation. 

Accordingly, reporting activities must include the TCN in the MRA transaction when 

it is available (ADC 247). If the total quantity for the shipped line item is not received 

by the due-in date, report the missing quantity, citing Discrepancy Indicator Code F, 

in accordance with the guidance in the MRA transaction.

AP5.1.5.2. Categories of Reports. Existing DLA Transaction Services 

documentation requires update to remove descriptions for reports that were 

removed by previous ADCs. (MRA04 (ADC 1086 (Reference 3.h.)), MRA05, 

MRA06, and MRA31 (ADC 482).

AP5.1.5.3. Invalid, Y-Series, or clear-text exception Ship-To. Existing DAAS 

edits should prevent successful processing of transactions containing invalid or YSeries ship-to values. However, if successfully processed, these shipments will be 

counted against the requisitioner’s DoDAAC (ADC 482).

17 In no ship-to DoDAAC is 

associated with the exception address, these shipments will be counted against the 

requisitioner’s DoDAAC.

17 Existing requisition edits are addressed in MILSTRIP Chapter 3, Table C3.T2, Requisition Processing 

and Related Actions, and the DoDAAC authority code edits identified in MILSTRIP C.2.28.11, Table 

C2.T1. DoDAAC Authority Codes.

18 Add new footnote to C.6.3 and AP5.2.12.3. Exclusions. Known MRA gaps include shipments 

associated with DLA Industrial Prime Vendor (IPV), and DLA Tailored Vendor Relationships (TVR) 

such as Medical Prime Vendor; Subsistence Prime Vendor; Maintenance Repair and Operations 

program; and Kentucky Logistics Operation Center (KyLOC). The MRA process requires a 

Shipment Status transaction; there is no shipment status in these processes. These processes 

are not excluded from MRA (except Fresh fruits and vegetables (FF&V)), and are identified as 

known process gaps that DLA is working to close. Another possible MRA gap exists for 

immediate issue scenarios (e.g., bearer walk-through or “over the counter” issues) where 

shipment status /materiel release confirmation is provided and an MRA would typically be 

expected. DLA will submit a proposed DLMS changes to document this as an MRA exclusion.

19 This is not a true “exclusion” from MRA because the MRA is only required for release of 

wholesale assets. When DAAS gets the passing order that has a RIC-TO of a non-wholesale ICP, 

they will flag the document number as not eligible for LMARS/MRA, but still be available for 

WEBVLIPS as history. Any subsequent transactions that come in under that document number 

(regardless of data content and indication of a wholesale ICP) automatically gets that flag. This is

C6.3.4. Shipments to state, civil, or Federal 

Agency activities. Special Program DoDAACs 

are identified by numeric character in the first 

position followed by an alpha character in the 

second position. These identify entities that 

are neither DoD or other Federal entities and 

that are associated with a special program. 

Among other purposes, special programs 

include programs authorized by Congress for 

state and local entities to purchase materiel 

from Federal sources. The existing DLA 

Transaction Services logic for extracting the 

LMARS database includes the exclusion or

C6.3.5. Receipts into DoD wholesale stock which

similar to what DAAS does for the requisition alert process. The one underlying assumption to 

this solution is that the passing order (DIC A3_) will be present so that the flag can be set at the 

document number level. This is a safe assumption, since ADC 1062 states that GCSS-A will not 

release the requisition image until they receive the passing order routed by DAAS. Note the DAAS 

check on the shipment status is just the presence of a shipment status for the document number 

that clears the first part of the MRA decision Tree. DLA Transaction Services feels this will 

eliminate a concern with LMARS picking up the transaction as a byproduct when the bill comes 

out of the wholesale ICP system (LMP) after the post-post issue is passed to that system (For 

Army GCSS-A to LMP).

C6.3.x. Exclude intra-Component shipments 

when the issuing wholesale ICP does not 

generate a Follow-Up for Delinquent MRA 

transaction within the required delinquent 

MRA Follow-up time limit. The rationale is that 

if the issuing wholesale ICP business process 

requires that the intra-Component reporting 

activity provide a Receipt transaction back to 

the issuing wholesale ICP, then it falls under 

the MRA exclusions and the issuing ICP would 

not generate a Follow-up for Delinquent MRA 

transaction. For the purpose of this exclusion 

logic, DLA Transaction Services will use the 

MRA Follow-up timeframe plus one day. 

Under existing MRA Report logic, lookup will 

be done at the end of the month.”
